Chicago Cubs Form
Chicago head to Cincinnati on a good run of form that has secured their place in the postseason.
The Cubs lost three straight earlier this month, losing 2-1 and 6-3 to Washington before falling to a 4-1 defeat in Atlanta, but they have responded strongly.
They turned things around in Atlanta as they beat the Braves on back-to-back nights, 6-1 and 3-2.
Chicago then returned home briefly and sandwiched a 5-4 defeat to Tampa Bay with 6-4 and 4-3 victories over the Rays.
The Cubs then went back out on the road and secured a playoff berth as they swept Pittsburgh in three games, winning 4-0, 4-1 and 8-4.
Cincinnati Reds Form
Cincinnati return home on the back of a win, but having been on a rollercoaster run over the past few weeks that has seen them go 6-8 in their last 14 games.
The Reds’ hit-or-miss run started at home as they followed 12-9 and 13-9 defeats to Toronto with a 5-4 loss to the New York Mets.
They rallied to win the next two meetings with the Mets, 6-3 and 3-2, before heading to San Diego where they responded to a 4-3 defeat with 4-2 and 2-1 victories.
Cincinnati failed to keep that good run going though as they were swept by The Athletics, losing 3-0, 11-5 and 7-4.
The Reds fared better in St Louis though, as they won 11-6 and 6-2 either side of a 3-0 defeat to the Cardinals.
Verdict
Chicago have nothing to play for in this one, but we still like their chances.
The Cubs are the team in better form and Colin Rea has stacked up a bunch of victories for them this season.
